In knapply/tweetio: Really, Really, Ridiculously Fast I/O, Transformation, and Analytical Routines Twitter Data

Description

Build an sf Object of Tweets

Usage

as_tweet_sf(
  tweet_df,
  geom_col = c("bbox_coords", "quoted_bbox_coords", "retweet_bbox_coords", "geo_coords",
    "all"),
  combine = TRUE,
  as_tibble = tweetio_as_tibble(),
  ...
)

Arguments

tweet_df	A data frame of tweets, as obtained by read_tweets() or one of {rtweet}'s collection functions, e.g. rtweet::search_tweets().
geom_col	Which column to use as the active geometry column in result: "bbox_coords", "quoted_bbox_coords","retweet_bbox_coords", "geo_coords", or "all".
combine	logical(1L), Default: TRUE. Whether to row-bind all geometries into a single sf::st_sf() object. If FALSE, a list() of sf::st_sf() objects are returned.
as_tibble	<logical>, Default: tweetio_as_tibble(). Whether a tibble::tibble() should be returned. Ignored if the {tibble} package is not installed.
...	Arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

sf::st_sf(), or list() of sf::st_sf() objects if combine = FALSE

Examples

path_to_tweet_file <- example_tweet_file()

tweet_df <- read_tweets(file_path = path_to_tweet_file)

bbox_coords <- as_tweet_sf(tweet_df)

rwtweet_bbox_cooords <- as_tweet_sf(tweet_df, geom_col = "retweet_bbox_coords")

tweet_sf <- as_tweet_sf(tweet_df, geom_col = "all", as_tibble = TRUE)

tweet_sf[, c("created_at", "text", "which_geom", "geometry")]
